World Cup 2009-Round 2, Game 2 Results + those on to Round 3

 Here are some of today's results, with the match winners in bold text, there have been several upsets again, with Viktor Laznicka eliminating Alexander Morozevich, the Philippine wonder kid, Wesley So holding a draw to eliminate Vassily Ivanchuk and just finishing the day, Konstantin Sakaev taking out Teimour Radjabov with the draw. GM Judit Polgar is going to the tiebreak stage tomorrow vs Romanian, Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu after getting the late start playing after her opponent in the first round failed to show up due to an injury, will this hurt her in the rapid game tiebreaks? We shall see..  I will post GM Viktor Laznicka's victory over GM Alexander Morozevich, who was not on form it seems, or Laznicka was inspired!
